Oct. 2003─ Mike Franco's requests for
recusal of the judges on his case have all been denied. Franco asked the three judges to step aside from his case in the Hampden
Probate & Family Court for lies, bigotry and cowardice, and the
fact that none of them have it in their character to afford his daughter
Victoria and he a fair hearing, ongoing since the spring of 1999.

The Motions to Recuse are as follows:

Tuesday, Sept. 2, Franco demanded the recusal of Judge Ann Geoffrion
(a one-word answer: "Denied," and no response to Franco's request for
Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law).

Wednesday, Sept. 10, Franco demanded the recusal of Judge David Sacks
(answer: "Denied." However, judge Sacks wrote a two-page
Memorandum to justify
his denial.)

If shared
parenting were law, Victoria Franco would
not be separated from her loving father, Mike Franco, by more than 2,100 miles. Read here how the mother's removal of Victoria to Texas denies her access to her father
and family here. The "moveaway" was allowed by Family Court Judge Anne Geoffrion
under a permanent order with minimal access to the father, but now the Court will not even
enforce its own ill-contrived and bigoted order for visitation essentially rejecting the
retention of "custody jurisdiction" by Massachusetts.

Judge David Fuller says Mike Franco needs to take the matter up in Texas now after he
spent tens of thousands of dollars and more than five years litigating and appealing the
discriminatory actions of the Massachusetts Probate and Family Court. Franco believes he
is being politically persecuted and targeting by judges in Hampden County because he leads
one of the state's most active fathers' rights organizations.

"These judges think they're going to run us out of town," Franco said.
"But they've got it wrong because we're going to run them out of town."
